The SMOM, or better the Italian Association of Knights of Malta, has at his dependency the Armed Force EI-SMOM, a voluntary and auxilary corp of Italian Army for sanitary and humanitarian assistance. In 1999 the President of the Italian Republic granted them the Italian war flag for "the merits vested in time of war and peace". They serve the Italian Army in war and may intervene in public disasters or other exceptional cases. Only the volunteers with the so-called special role have obligations to the Italian Army.

Another interesting thing is that for a short time after World War 2, when Italy was subject to post-war arms limitations, the SMOM was leased a number of Italy's bomber aircraft that were awaiting classification by the enforcing powers (as to whether or not the plane would be considered subject to the limitation or not). So for a short while SMOM actually had an air force

SMOM owns two buildings in Rome, Italy. The larger building contains a hospital, a treasury which issues stamps And coins, their state department is on the second floor and you can get your passport stamped their. Their currency Is called Scudi which is Avery old Latin name. The other building is known as the Ducal Palace and is where many Of the officials live. Italy does not recognize SMOM postage or currency so if you want to actually mail something From their post office you put both SMOM and Italian stamps on the letter.

Why do they use the Danish flag? Is it because Denmark also owned the island of St. Croix? Is it just a coincidence? Or something else?
@BlueBetaPro
@BlueBetaPro 6 жыл бұрын
It's not the Danish flag it's the Order of Malta's flag. On this flag the cross is centered, on the danish flag the cross is off center. Edit: Or do you mean the reason behind why the designs are similar? Then I just read your question wrong. Valid question though. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_Military_Order_of_Malta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark

the reason is a common origin for participating in the crusades. back then there werent much flags to represent any european land so after the crusade. people brought forth a very powerful symbol of the cross waving it about to take back the holy land. savoy has an even more similar flag to the order of malta than denmark

No it is true, you have to learn how to think. Whether to think critically or whether to choose an opinion, many people don’t know how they got there. At least if you want your thoughts to be worth something.
@asneakychicken322
@asneakychicken322 6 жыл бұрын
Not an oxymoron, without any formal training in how to think you can easily fall prey to logical fallacies, not critically analysing things, not using evidence and sources, etc. To "think" is to use logic, and that in itself doesn't just exist it was invented and has to be practised to use it well. Like arseholes every person has an opinion, the only thing separating which opinions are worth listening to is which are more well informed, ie. who can think better, because they know how. Just think of it as the old 'teach a man how to fish' analogy, you're not teaching him what to think about and what conclusions to arrive at but literally the act of thinking properly and logically.

It's hospitaller work and assets (buildings) are sovereign. It is subject to the Vatican as a religious Order. Its Knights of Justice are fully vowed monks (obedience, poverty, chastity). It is these Knights, among all the other "ranks" of the SMOM, who are the modern descendants of the fighting warrior Knights of St. John, (aka Knights Hospitaller, Order of Rhodes, Order of Malta).
